Which PCI Hotplug do you want?  Do you want the one ACPI version that
in only supported on a few ia64 systems?  Do you want the PCI-SIG
version that's supported by no one?  Or do you want the Compaq version
that isn't documented except in Linux driver sources?  What about the
Dell version?  Or IBM?  Also, do you want storage and network devices
to behave correctly when they are hot-pulled?  The work here is far
from trivial, but I'd happily accept volunteers that want to start on
it =-)
